• HOURS OF OPERATION: Per Steve Rohlf: There is no god given right to work 12 <br /> • hours. Neighborhood people would prefer the same hours as we work: 7 am -5 pm <br /> Monday thru Friday. Saturdays should be few and far between with prior approval <br /> required. City ordinance needs to be revised from 7 .7 p.m. to lam - 5 pm. Residents <br /> that pay taxes to the city, county and state should be able to enjoy any time off that <br /> they can get, without having to endure additional disruption with out any economical <br /> benefit. <br /> • CRUSTIER hours of operation and location: TBD. Summers are short enough. <br /> Location will depend on noise, vibration and aestetics. <br /> • RECLAMATION PLAN in PLACE w/FUNDING: FINAL approval must meet EIS <br /> GUIDELINES. Use of land(zoning) after reclamation? We have been told that the <br /> City of Elk River, will hold a bond, until reclamation is finished w/each phase. <br /> • Road path to rest of farm on subsequent phases: Even after initial phases are <br /> complete, this road will stay in place; therefore, location is critical, due to dust, noise, <br /> drainage, aestetics, and vibration. Consulting w/Dave Bauerly, he has committed to <br /> working with us on this, and any issues that may arise_ This may include black-top or <br /> routine watering. <br /> • SET-BACKS: It is felt that 50 feet is not sufficient, especially with Arabian horses <br /> grazing on this side of the fence. Fifty(50) yards should be minimum set-back to this <br /> back line. The Valley depth will not provide additional mining opportunities. After <br /> 111 further review of phases I & 2 boundaries, w/Dave Bauerly, this should not be an <br /> issue with my property. There is not alot of opportunity between the road location <br /> and adjacent property line location to mine the valley and be able to retain a 4:1 slope <br /> requirement. <br /> • NOISE: Clauses are provided to correct problems that may arise during the operation. <br /> After discussion w/Dave Bauerly, it has been emphasized to keep ALL NATURAL <br /> BERMS in place (Wooded ridges)that will provide NATURAL SCREENING for <br /> NOISE and DUST. Clauses should be added to REQUIRE common sense use of <br /> Natural barriers for prevention of noise, dust and aestetics. <br /> • DUST: Because of the condition of my wife's allergies, it is imperative that we <br /> minimize dust from the operation. It should be noted that the ELK RIVER <br /> LANDFILL shuts down operations on very windy days_ There should also be <br /> provisions for this that apply to gravel pit mining. <br /> • PROVISIONS should be included for keeping the turn lanes, the median and general <br /> condition of the 225th&Baldwin Ave. nw. in acceptable driving condition without <br /> additional assessments by the neighborhood taxpayer. <br /> Everyone's cooperation is appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jeff Lawson 22715 Baldwin Ave_ N.W_ Elk River <br /> 8/8 d 5982 '°NI vd1,Zf d6Z Z1 L661 '�i 'A <br />
